Oh, I don't think she would have done that intentionally, but I get the feeling she was rushed, here.

You know, they were building water reclamation plants for some places, instead of just waste treatment.

I didn't know -- that must be your world, not mine. But it's a good idea.

I still think there's probably a reliable water source. This is clearly built on a template of Mayfield, and only a fool fails to plan the basic necessities first before anything else. If she got as far as buildings, I suspect she'd already taken care of energy and necessary survival factors like air, water, and nutrition.

I'm thinking... since this is a closed system, even if there is additional energy provided...

[ Ilsa walks along, deep in thought. ]

Okay, so - both in physics and thaumaics, there is the law of conservation of energy. Basically, energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can change state, but it's still there, yes?

[He has to work on this. Europan Science already warped earth-style laws of physics. Then there's another little problem.]

That might be true in your parent-world, with your physics. Mayfield, however, isn't a real world. It's a construct world. Energy rates have simply lever been logical, consistent, or mathematically predictable.

Yes, it is constructed. But Annie gave us a warning - even if it lasts a while, the system is finite. I mean, look at what we were able to do today. We were able to create something out of apparently thin air, but only have enough for a certain number of world-changing actions.

[ Nope, she is not going to call them wishes, ever. ]

Maybe it's the way I was taught, but I'd rather do as much as I can with the least amount. That's why I keep leaning towards using the efforts only for things we can't create from found materials.
